I`ve had the same root for about 25years and it still crops every year in a shady place. All the treatment it gets is a covering of manure over- winter, and we blanche a lot and freeze it. Don`t` mollycoddle` it like the above link says. Always pull & twist the stems from the base, and leave some stalks at the end of the season to revitalise. Plant anytime now, but cover with fleece if frost is suspected until established.
